If I may, and please forgive me if I seem boorish, but I find the explanation of "it's just a figure of speech" to be unlikely, especially given one of Dugin's influences, the fascist turbo-mystic Evola.
Why did Evola reject Metaphor and Abstraction?
My apologies if my syntax was unclear, do allow me to rephrase it. My intended meaning was that Evola, who heavily influenced Dugin's work, was a hardcore esotericist/occultist; as such, I find the interpretation that "it's just a figure of speech" to be unlikely because Dugin and Evola genuinely believe in such... erm… would "mysticisms" be the right term?

I find it rather bizarre that you decided to join the thread while we were discussing their works. Nevertheless (and despite our seeming ideological differences), I wish you welcome.
